Fast Forward

This forward-thinking series features premiere works by significant composers of the 21st-century, including Osvaldo Golijov, Terry Riley, Tyondai Braxton, Donnacha Dennehy, Missy Mazzoli, and a quartet of composers from Latin America. Their music has also found a new breed of musical interpreters—Kronos Quartet, Alarm Will Sound, and the St. Lawrence String Quartet among them—who provide electrifying performances of what is new, now, and next.
